LIFTING AND SHORING
1. GENERAL
This chapter describes the materials necessary to lift and shore the airplane for maintenance, overhaul,
repair, and abnormal conditions such as collapsed gear. The entire airplane may be lifted by using stan-
dard aircraft hydraulic jacks in conjunction with jack pads at the jack points provided on the fuselage and
wings. The jacking site, when possible, should be on level ground and should be protected from wind, pref-
erably inside a hanger. The airplane may be jacked with full fuel tanks. As the airplane’s empty CG is for-
ward of the wing jack points, add 150 to 200 lb of ballast to baggage compartment to prevent airplane from
tipping forward. When possible jacks should be used in conjunction with shoring.
